Reviews

Through a theoretically sophisticated examination of “political anger” in Roman literary texts, Knight shows that anger operates through historically and culturally specific, normatively directed codes. She boldly straddles the transition from Republic to Empire, innovatively charting how ira adapted to its changing political environment. This is indeed an important achievement. * Craige B. Champion, Professor of Classics and Ancient History, Syracuse University, USA *
